Love is life, a tapestry of emotions intertwined,
But not the love that's self-serving, unrefined.
It's not a solitary dance, where only one heart sways,
For true love embraces both give and receive, always.

One-sided love is but a flicker, a fading flame,
Where expectations are unmet, and hearts bear the blame.
For love to flourish, it must be in harmony's embrace,
A balance of shared devotion, a tender, steadfast space.

Love is the pillar that upholds life's grand design,
A bond so strong, it withstands the tests of time.
It's the gentle touch that mends the deepest wounds,
And the passionate fire that lights up countless moons.

But one-sided love, oh, it falls short in its pursuit,
Leaving hearts longing, hearts feeling destitute.
For love to thrive, reciprocity must dance along,
Two souls entwined, a symphony of heart's sweet song.

So seek a love, where both sides are met,
A journey together, you won't forget.
For love is life, when hearts beat as one,
In a love that's reciprocated, never undone.
